Babies usually learn to crawl at seven or eight months old, but some children have different constitutions and have not yet learned at 11 months old. Why is this? This problem troubles many parents. In fact, parents should not worry too much if their children cannot crawl. It may be due to insufficient exercise, and mastering the correct methods can teach children.
What if 11 babies can't crawl
1. When teaching a baby how to crawl, parents can hold one of the baby's hands and push the other up the baby's feet. When pulling the left hand, push the right foot, and when pulling the right hand, push the left foot to passively coordinate the baby's limbs. After teaching in this way for a period of time, when the baby's limbs coordinate very well, he can stand up and crawl with his hands and knees.
2. In crawling exercises, landing the baby's abdomen on the ground can also train their touch. Because babies with poor touch may experience symptoms of being shy and clingy. Once the baby can lift their abdomen off the bed and crawl on their hands and knees, they can place a rolling ball in front of them and slowly climb towards it, gradually becoming faster.
3. For babies who have difficulty crawling, they can start training from a crawl, and then parents can help the baby learn crawling. In fact, babies who have just learned to crawl tend to crawl forward, spin in circles, or crawl backwards, which is a process of learning to crawl. At this point, parents must have patience. If they want their baby to learn to crawl, they need to put in some effort.
Reasons why 11 month old babies cannot crawl
1. The baby's muscle strength is not strong. Crawling is not an easy physical activity for babies who have just turned 11 months old, and it is difficult to complete without a certain amount of strength. Some parents love their babies very much, often holding them in their arms or carrying them on their backs in a walker, but rarely letting them lift their heads, turn over, or sit, causing them to miss the opportunity to exercise their muscle strength for crawling and walking in the future.
2. Poor coordination ability. We all know that crawling is a process of coordinated movement of all four limbs, which requires alternating left and right limbs and moving up, down, forward and backward in order to crawl. In addition to coordinated limb movements, crawling also requires babies to look up and forward, which requires the participation of their eyes and neck muscles.
3. The crawling power is insufficient. The curiosity and exploration of babies are the real reasons and motivation for them to climb. For example, if a baby is originally sitting on the floor playing with toys and sees something in the distance that is more attractive to him, he will want to actively acquire it, which gives him the motivation to crawl. But if adults deliver the toys or things they want or are interested in to the baby before they can crawl over, the baby will lose the motivation to crawl.
We have introduced the reasons why 11 month old children still cannot crawl and the methods to help them crawl. I wonder if you have gained anything after reading this. In fact, the help of parents is essential for children's growth and development. Therefore, we should help children exercise more in their daily lives and not hold them in our hands all day long, as it is not good for them.
